dc.description.abstract | The city of La Paz, in Bolivia, faces a series of food security challenges linked
with the access to food during road blockings caused by protests. A promising
solution to this issue is presented by a network of urban agricultural farms in the
heart of the city. This thesis proposes an exploration of a self-sustaining project
of urban agriculture that will inform a network of urban agricultural centres.
The proposal is to have an agricultural garden which harnesses natural
water from water springs and use it combined with traditional Andean methods
of cultivation, such as the terracing and raised fields systems. The project will
interact closely with local communities and engage them with culture and
cultivation. | en_US |
